I am telling the truth and Neelix was the sleeper hit of the show, like Quark.

Remember the episode where Beltran went on a vision quest and found out that all of the indigenous people of North America were ignorant savages before a white saviour alien taught them culture? And it was written by one of the better writers, Michael pillar.

I never understood why Star Trek's costumes were so awful. They were either generic impractical jumpsuits or goofy stuff like that. It was actually a big deal that Babylon 5's uniforms had pockets. I guess pockets are a lost technology in the Star Trek universe.

Ok i'm going to say it, with the exception of the episode of Geordi getting shut down on the beach, every holodeck episode is poo poo.

Its always the lovely races in trek that have backstories of being oppressed and nearly wiped out. Telaxians and Bajorans, separated by a quadrant, unfortunately both still cling to existence neither of them deserve.

You are talking my language. I also hate Bajorans.

It's sort of funny that Ten-Forward and Quark's were static and permanent socializing locales for the crew to unwind and relax, but did the Voyager ever manage to get anything like that other than whatever fantasy holodeck place they set up like that?

With the benefit of hindsight, you could have maybe played with the lack of holodecks to have the crew forced to find other distractions to eat away their time: We can't afford power to holodecks, so a few crewmembers save up their replicator rations to build some primitive holoware or holosuit or holoironmaiden to engage in low-grade holoadventures or other entertainment diversions that run on fractions of that sort of power. Crewmembers having to come up with new recreational activities that don't use holodecks and the precious holodeck power.

A progression of the "Rec Deck" through the series until it looks like a Dave and Buster's in space by the time they get back to the Alpha Quadrant. Voyager then gets bought by Quark as a sort of Riverboat Casino in space..

I think this was voted the worst in the series.

Its a dumb episode but not bad enough to skip. Its not like there is more DS9 out their going to be made. Plus it has George Primmin being made to look like the bumpkin mall cop he truly was.

The tragedy of the Writer's Guild's credit system is that dumb episodes like that can't cheaply be used as fodder for jokes. Like in a much later episode Rom should be seen in the background throwing a that Wadi leader out of the bar on his schap'ed rear end and kicking a heap of klon peags out after him. His life now in ruins due to a gambling problem.

Yeah okay computer whatever, but can you make this bitch real?

Good thing Picard didn't walk in on his rubdown

So yeah the real lady was totally justified in being loving pissed off at Geordi.

They find magic dilithium that lets them go warp 10, which shouldn't be a thing, and it turns paris into a lizard. He then kidnaps janeway, warp 10s again and they have lizard sex. They leave the kids on a random planet because what the gently caress are they going to do with them on a space ship. The end.

There was no evidence of any holocaust, ever, brought to the credible attention of any stellar governance body. The Cardassians were maligned by propaganda, but even in the worst-case retelling of the history of the so-called "occupation" the only "mass" deaths on record were workplace accidents, riot suppression and defensive maneuvers to thwart terror campaigns by fanatical guerrillas who killed Bajoran and Cardassian alike. Mining, rock-breaking and drink-serving in an officers club are dangerous lines of work, true, but they are foundational to the establishment of any civilization and only the Cardassians were willing to come in and teach such a combative, vindictive populace.

The federation itself cared nothing for and wanted nothing to do with Bajor until after they had finally become adept at the Cardassian art of turning crushed rock into slag into ore.

shadow puppet of a posted:

It was far closer to a Bunny Ranch situation where the legal, fully above-board and in-protocol option to sleep with dozens of strapping Cardassian men (to be so fortunate!) was offered up as a career choice as a higher growth opportunity than in the field of ores and ore reprocessing.

shadow puppet of a posted:

Starvation, prostitution or ore mining, where one of those three options carried the additional risk of being attacked by Bajoran guerrilla partisans. How is it the Cardassian's fault that the Bajorans never developed the sort of aptness with filing systems that would have allowed them to participate in more administrative roles during the supervised planetary educational period? They are essentially uncontacted tribes people, you cant just sit them down in front of a SAP terminal an somehow expect vial ore reprocessing quotas to still be met.

The Bajorans, as a race, were really unlikable. The Kai's were annoying. Kira was hot as gently caress but a man hating bitch and super quick to overreact to everything. Then Coolass Dukat glides his way in smiling and friendly but also letting you know he wasn't gonna be pushed around. His reasoning is sound, he doesn't get emotional, he's almost certainly packing a big dick, it's no wonder people saw it Dukats way

Plus Garak was cool as gently caress.




What I'm saying here is the Cardassians were the best drat characters in the show.

Wesley came back from his travels, he was in a deleted scene from nemesis. It was more of a "gotta have the whole cast here for the last time" kind of a thing. Although in the novel when he goes back to the traveller, and sees that data dies, he asks the traveller if he can go back and stop it. Traveller says no.

Fat Shat Sings posted:

Without strong Cardassian guidance the Bajorans were just loving terrible.

Once they got some actual farm equipment they went to the brink of civil war and a government coup while arguing over who got to use it.

I thought the rub was they could make artificial human organs, but they didn't know enough about Neelex's species to do it right.

(Still enough to make holographic organs, though?)
